The idea of undergoing the procedure was 'mentally and emotionally draining', the longtime Abu Dhabi resident said, but doctors eased her worries
Implement energy-saving practices, such as switching to LED lightbulbs, regulating the air conditioning to automatically turn off or switch to fan mode at night, and turning off non-essential electronics like printers and microwaves when not in use. Similarly, run your dishwasher only when it's full to save water and reduce your energy bill. Wash clothes when you have a full load of laundry. These small steps can go a long way to cutting utility bills.
The UAE is making a huge effort to become more self-sufficient with its food supply, with close to six million tonnes of food being produced in the country every year. Support efforts by eating more locally sourced food. Also, only prepare food your family can finish to avoid waste. Make the most out of leftovers, like reusing trimmings and creating broths for the next meal, storing leftovers in refrigerators, feedings leftovers to pets, and composting waste for home plants.
Cut down on trips to the store by replanting the ends of lettuce, onions, and roots in some soil or water to start your own garden. You can also plant a few seeds in a container on your windowsill. You don't need acres; a few square feet in a window box can provide enough space to grow edible herbs, fruits, and vegetables. This will also encourage you to get on the healthy diet train by eating less animal products.
Donate your old clothes and home goods to give them a new life instead of just throwing them out and retire old electronics responsibly. Recycle anything you can, including paper, plastic, aluminum and glass.
If you're not a patient or on the frontlines, try to use a reusable cloth mask when stepping out. This is a more sustainable option and will save disposable masks for those on the frontlines who need them more.
